Re: State of the offshore wind jobs market
Given how many gigawatts have secured leases in scotwind and INTOG, it's probably a pretty safe job market.
I imagine contract roles are a bit more tricky. I'm a consultant, and we seem to be pretty busy.

Re: Energy/Business politics: Gas storage capacity
That's sounding like an argument for increasing domestic supply.

Re: long duration storage with liquid air
3. Long Duration Energy Storage is basically a technology that can discharge for hours (in excess of 4 hours seems to be the definition). I understood "long duration" in this context to mean inter-seasonal storage. Eg saving solargenerated energy in summer to use in winter! The government...

Re: long duration storage with liquid air
I am going to refrain from giving another Physics lecture. Just mention a few factors folks might want to look up) 1) The critical temperature for O and N (the temperature above which both will remain gasses regardless of how high the pressure) 2) Whether pressure vessels "scale" or not (...

Re: long duration storage with liquid air
Yes, it looks good. Maybe a more extreme version of the experimental Compressed Air Energy Storage which is being buit at Carrington? It's unfortunate/ironic that their air tank has a big capital "H" on it though - I know what it made me think of! It's also good that at last this Cap and ...

Re: Grid forming Batteries - mimicking spinning reserve.
I’ve never understood why we still need a “spinning reserve” that is an actual, physical, spinning mass. Surely all the solar/battery inverters in people’s houses as well as at grid-scale batteries can do the job? Is this another wheeze by the FF companies to keep the hydrocarbons flowing? Spinning...

Re: Ripple energy "strike off"
It's probably worth downloading all of your documents just in case.
